Channel cats like minnows and night crawlers where I fish

Hey man, you been slayin em ??

I bet there’s 100 fishing poles in there on the bottom wedged in rocks. And a few dozen camp stoves that’s me in the front of the boat

Again, there are no rules man. My rivers fluctuate from a raging torrent 5 mph to a calm flow once every day. They go up and down at least 2 feet every day. Fish move around and eat stuff unpredictably. The one thing you can somewhat count on is they seek slow water when it’s ripping, but even then expect the unexpected

My policy has always been get to dry land is step 1 after flipping, no wasted energy trying to flip a boat over until you’re out of the water. Granted, I don’t paddle in the middle of wide open lakes, I always stay somewhat near the bank in a small vessel. big water= bigger boat ive flipped right here probably 6 or 7 times with two days of camping cooking and fishing gear, recovery is not plausible haha. The picture is a screenshot from a video, we made it upright that time

That’s a beast!!!

It was a popular video to post for a hot minute. Way too time consuming for me

Gotcha. Maybe if you get an extractor bit or something you could replace that screw. Or find a traveling mechanic

I need two of them! I like to shave it with clippers but my wife says I look like a terrorist when I do that Nice one!!

If you get eggs straight from the chicken, the yolks can be pretty delicate. I thought I was a total moron trying to fry them, always breaking the yolk. Then someone told me farm fresh yolks were quite fragile. Grocery store eggs are much easier to fry and flip without breaking it. Turns out I’m only somewhere around half moron

Shakey head is good stuff, Jesse Wiggins makes a living throwing one

A jig head worm is like a ned rig, only cheaper. And now that every fisherman has to throw neds, the jig head worm is becoming more effective since it’s a little different than the TRD

Was the screw you broke plastic ?

I love my st croix Legend tournament bass. I think there’s glass in it though, but I’m a fan of glass

After all the erroneous weather forecasts for years and years, everyone still watches the weather on TV or clicks it on the internet. It’s a vicious cycle

Low freeboard!!!! That’s the reason I ditched my trolling motor and battery on my small river boat and went with oars and oar locks . My friends pointed it out to me after they took this photo. Granted I was solo and had the back loaded down, but it’s really not hard to paddle that boat. Trolling motor didn’t give that much of an advantage versus the weight of the battery. I’ve taken waves from cabin cruisers in that boat since I was born, it’s never even splashed in

does it make any noise when you try the trim switch? My relays are funny, sometimes mine trims itself all the way up on its own and won’t stop. I remove the cowl and usually just touch a relay, and it stops. I replaced one of them, I think I need to do all 3 is the relay the same as a solenoid?

Awesome!

Boy was yesterday a bit of a heartbreaker. I laid eyes on a walleye that was well over 5-6 lbs, might have been getting closer to 10 lbs!!!!! Argh………… So we fished a while, catching some smaller fish and then I got another decent one on the spro pin tail so once I get the skunk out of the boat, I like trying different stuff. I brought out the big guns, the massive FishLab gizzard shad and that’s where the sea monster walleye came into play. I was reeling the bait on the surface and talking to my wife on the phone. A large fish started following, I thought it was about a 10 lb striper. Then I saw the walleye markings and the teeth and pretty well soiled my linens and hollered out “walleye!” Of course I didn’t continue cranking the handle and the fish took a little dainty nip at the treble and disappeared back into a logjam. And I didn’t even attempt a hook set. I informed my wife I missed a giant walleye and she says “well go back and get it.” So I tried that too, didn’t work

Just kind of swimming it along, ticking bottom or grass tops occasionally

Another nice smallie with the spro pin tail

I’ve got a photo but it’s gut wrenching, I think google would flag it ? I see what you did there

I lost some kind of fish trolling a SPRO rock crawler the other day, don’t know what it was unfortunately

H20 express cranks and jointed rattling suspending shad raps

I forgot about Boone. It has only been recently re filled after being drawn down 30 feet for a long time, maybe 6-8 years. There are laydowns for flipping on every lake but a bunch of bushes grew where Boone was lowered so I bet there’s bushes galore there now. It’s also an excellent lake for trophy striper and brown trout fort Patrick Henry is usually tournament fisherman’s least favorite lake but I have seen some pictures of big ones from there, green and brown
